Jul 16 When We Talk About Love and go on tour...

Oh Mercy are proud to announce their When We Talk About Love album tour.

Written across three American cities and then home, Alex has described the album as his most personal to date, ‘Its genetics are the sum of my musical loves. Bacharach, Cohen, The Triffids. Grand, proud and not self-conscious. I accessed all that I’ve learnt, all that I know, and importantly, all that I love, to create this record.”

Having recently sold out their Sydney and Melbourne ‘Sandy 7”’ shows, this will be the first national tour for Oh Mercy since Alex returned home to Australia to record the album. The When We Talk About Love Tour returns to Melbourne and Sydney, plus visits Brisbane, Newcastle, Darwin, Perth and Fremantle for the first time since 2012. This will also be the first tour for the new band mates, Oh Mercy now featuring keys, viola, drums, bass and occasional second guitarist.

The band are set to tour in September and will be hitting up Mojos and the Rosie respectively on the 18th and 19th. Get your tickets here.

La Dispute are about to embark on a huge Australian tour that will see them play 15 shows all across the country. The tour will kick off here in WA, with successive shows at Amplifier Bar in Perth and the Newport Hotel in Fremantle on the 5th and 6th of September respectively. We were lucky enough to talk on the phone to drummer and founding member Brad Vander Lugt ahead of these shows. (Banner image by Micala Renee)
